Flora Sun

Famous quotes containing the words flora and/or sun:

“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”

“The primitive wood is always and everywhere damp and mossy, so that I traveled constantly with the impression that I was in a swamp; and only when it was remarked that this or that tract, judging from the quality of the timber on it, would make a profitable clearing, was I reminded, that if the sun were let in it would make a dry field, like the few I had seen, at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
